Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of hydroponics, specifically to a hydroponic device with temperature control function. Background Technology

[0002] Hydroponics is a new type of soilless plant cultivation method, also known as nutrient solution culture. Its core is to directly immerse the plant's roots in a nutrient solution. This nutrient solution can replace soil and provide the plant with growth factors such as water, nutrients, and oxygen, enabling the plant to grow normally. Hydroponics can effectively save land resources.

[0003] When conducting hydroponic experiments, sometimes the experimental conditions are not ideal, such as the lack of a suitable temperature-controlled greenhouse. However, the hydroponic experiment must be carried out, and conventional plastic greenhouses can be used. But in the high temperatures of the south, the temperature inside ordinary plastic greenhouses is very high in summer, and the hydroponic nutrient solution easily absorbs heat. The roots of the experimental plant materials are easily damaged by the high temperature in the nutrient solution after absorbing heat, which affects the growth of the plant materials. There is a lack of equipment that can reduce the impact of ambient temperature when conducting hydroponic experiments inside ordinary greenhouses.

[0004] Based on this, the present invention designs a hydroponic device with temperature control function to solve the problem that hydroponic experiments in ordinary greenhouses are greatly affected by ambient temperature. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a hydroponic device with temperature control function, comprising a base plate, trapezoidal frames fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the base plate, a plurality of hydroponic frames arranged on the trapezoidal frames, a heat insulation frame sleeved on the outside of the trapezoidal frames, a sealing plate fixedly connected to the front end of the heat insulation frame, and a sliding transport mechanism arranged on the heat insulation frame, the sliding transport mechanism being able to slide the hydroponic frames outward from one side of the heat insulation frame, facilitating the detection and cultivation of plants inside the hydroponic frames.

[0006] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the sliding transport mechanism includes a fixed frame, a plurality of fixed frames are fixedly connected to the side wall of the heat insulation frame in an equidistant manner, a connecting seat is fixedly connected to the side wall of the hydroponic frame, a connecting plate is provided above the hydroponic frame, a sliding block is slidably connected to the side wall of the connecting plate, a connecting rod is rotatably connected to the bottom of the sliding block, a protrusion is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the connecting rod, an opening is provided at the top of the connecting seat for docking with the protrusion, and a return spring is sleeved on the connecting rod for resetting.

[0007] As a further embodiment of the present invention, a threaded rod is spirally connected to the connecting plate, one end of the threaded rod passes through the fixed frame and is disposed on one side of the fixed frame, a turntable is fixedly connected to one end of the threaded rod, a fixed cone rod is slidably connected to the sliding block, one end of the fixed cone rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed frame, a push rod for contacting the fixed cone rod is fixedly connected to the side wall of the sealing plate, and sliding rods are fixedly connected to the outer walls of the front and rear ends of the hydroponic frame, a telescopic rod is slidably connected inside the sliding rod, and one end of the telescopic rod is slidably disposed inside the slide rail.

[0008] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the top of the base plate is provided with a docking groove for sliding docking with the heat insulation frame, and the bottom of the heat insulation frame is completely fitted with the inner wall of the docking groove.

[0009] As a further embodiment of the present invention, a glass plate is embedded in the top of the fixed frame, and a light-shielding plate is slidably connected to the top of the glass plate.

[0010] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the outer wall of the front end of the fixed cone rod and the outer wall of the rear end of the push rod are inclined surfaces that fit together, and a slot is provided on the front side of the sliding block for the push rod to slide through.

[0011] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the heat insulation frame and the sealing plate are respectively fixedly connected with air inlet and outlet pipes, and the air inlet and outlet pipes are connected to external pipes.

[0012] As a further embodiment of the present invention, a temperature measuring component is fixedly connected to the hydroponic frame.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0014] This invention isolates plants from the external environment using an insulated frame, preventing the experimental results from being affected by ambient temperature during hydroponics in a regular greenhouse, thus further improving the success rate of hydroponic experiments. Furthermore, the sliding transport mechanism allows the hydroponic frame to be moved, enabling both isolation of the plants and observation of their growth inside the frame without opening it. Because the insulated frame, as an insulating material, has poor light transmittance, it is impossible to observe the internal conditions from the outside. Directly opening the frame would expose the plants to the external environment, diminishing the isolation effect. The sliding transport mechanism effectively reduces the impact of ambient temperature on the plants inside the insulated frame. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-7 The present invention provides a technical solution: a hydroponic device with temperature control function, including a base plate 4, trapezoidal frames 13 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the base plate 4, a plurality of hydroponic frames 15 are provided on the trapezoidal frames 13, a heat insulation frame 1 is sleeved on the outside of the trapezoidal frames 13, a sealing plate 3 is fixedly connected to the front end of the heat insulation frame 1, and a sliding transport mechanism is provided on the heat insulation frame 1. The sliding transport mechanism can slide the hydroponic frame 15 outward from one side of the heat insulation frame 1, which facilitates the detection and cultivation of plants inside the hydroponic frame 15;

[0026] When the above scheme is put into practical use, during hydroponic experiments, the hydroponic plants are placed inside the hydroponic frame 15, and an appropriate amount of water and nutrient solution are added inside the frame 15 to cultivate the plants. If the temperature of the growing environment is too high and affects the plants, the insulation frame 1 is fitted onto the outside of the base plate 4, and then the sealing plate 3 is fixed from one end of the insulation frame 1, thereby isolating the plants inside the hydroponic frame 15 from the external environment. If it is necessary to observe the plants inside the hydroponic frame 15, the sliding transport mechanism on the insulation frame 1 moves the hydroponic frame 15 inside the trapezoidal frame 13 until it is in a position that can be observed from the outside of the insulation frame 1. The advantage of this is that the insulation frame 1 can isolate the plants from the external environment, so that even when hydroponically cultivating in a regular greenhouse, the plants will not be affected. The results of the experiment are affected by the ambient temperature, which can further improve the success rate of the hydroponic experiment. Moreover, by moving the hydroponic frame 15 through the sliding transport mechanism, the plants can be isolated by the heat insulation frame 1, and the growth of the plants inside the heat insulation frame 1 can be observed without opening the heat insulation frame 1. Because the heat insulation frame 1, as a heat insulation material, usually has poor light transmission, it is impossible to observe the internal situation from the outside. If the heat insulation frame 1 is opened directly to observe the inside, the plants inside the hydroponic frame 15 will be exposed to the external environment, which will reduce the isolation effect of the heat insulation frame 1. Therefore, the method of moving the hydroponic frame 15 through the sliding transport mechanism to observe the growth of the plants inside can effectively reduce the impact of the ambient temperature on the plants inside the heat insulation frame 1.

[0027] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the sliding transport mechanism includes a fixed frame 5. A plurality of fixed frames 5 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the heat insulation frame 1 in an equidistant arrangement. A connecting seat 22 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the hydroponic frame 15. A connecting plate 9 is provided above the hydroponic frame 15. A sliding block 18 is slidably connected to the side wall of the connecting plate 9. A connecting rod 20 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the sliding block 18. A protrusion 21 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the connecting rod 20. An opening for mating with the protrusion 21 is provided at the top of the connecting seat 22. A return spring 19 for resetting is sleeved on the connecting rod 20. A threaded connection is provided on the connecting plate 9. One end of the threaded rod 8 passes through the fixed frame 5 and is set on one side of the fixed frame 5. One end of the threaded rod 8 is fixedly connected to the turntable 6. A fixed cone rod 11 is slidably connected to the sliding block 18. One end of the fixed cone rod 11 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed frame 5. A push rod 14 for contacting the fixed cone rod 11 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the sealing plate 3. Slide rods 16 are fixedly connected to the outer walls of the front and rear ends of the hydroponic frame 15 respectively. A telescopic rod 17 is slidably connected inside the slide rod 16. One end of the telescopic rod 17 is slidably set inside the slide rail 12. A glass plate 7 is embedded in the top of the fixed frame 5. A light shield is slidably connected to the top of the glass plate 7.

[0028] When the above solution is put into actual use, when the heat insulation frame 1 is installed on the top of the base plate 4, the heat insulation frame 1 will drive the connecting plate 9 to slide horizontally, and then be fixed from the front end of the heat insulation frame 1 by the sealing plate 3. The push rod 14 at the rear end of the sealing plate 3 will gradually contact the fixed cone rod 11 and push the fixed cone rod 11 to slide downward. The fixed cone rod 11 drives the sliding block 18 to slide down together. The downward movement of the fixed cone rod 11 drives the protrusion 21 to insert into the opening at the top of the connecting seat 22, thereby creating a connection between the sliding block 18 and the hydroponic frame 15. At this time, the turntable 6 is rotated, and the turntable 6 drives the threaded rod 8 to rotate, so that the connecting plate 9 slides along the threaded rod 8. The connecting plate 9 drives the sliding block 18 to slide together. The sliding block 18 drives the hydroponic frame 15 to slide together through the protrusion 21, so that the sliding rod 16 drives the telescopic rod 17 to slide inside the slide rail 12. When the telescopic rod 17 slides to the maximum distance, the hydroponic frame 15 continues to slide, driving the sliding rod 16 to slide together, so that the hydroponic frame 15 slides. Once inside the fixed frame 5, remove the light-shielding plate at the top of the fixed frame 5. You can then observe the growth of the plants inside the hydroponic frame 15 through the glass plate 7 on the fixed frame 5. If you need to remove a single plant, you can also remove the glass plate 7 from the fixed frame 5 and remove the plant directly from the top of the fixed frame 5. Then, cover the glass plate 7 and the light-shielding plate, and reverse the turntable 6 to push the hydroponic frame 15 back to its original position. The advantage of doing this is that the entire heat insulation frame 1 can effectively isolate the external ambient temperature from the plants inside the hydroponic frame 15. At the same time, when you need to observe the plants or add nutrient solution, you can rotate the threaded rod 8 to drive the sliding block 18 to slide along the fixed cone rod 11. The protrusion 21 at the bottom of the sliding block 18, which is connected to the connecting seat 22 on the hydroponic frame 15, will allow you to remove the hydroponic frame 15 to be observed along with the plant from inside the heat insulation frame 1. This will not affect other hydroponic plants that do not need to be observed, such as light exposure or contact with the external high temperature environment.

[0029] When the hydroponic experiment is over and the insulation frame 1 needs to be opened, remove the sealing plate 3 from the front end of the insulation frame 1, slide the insulation frame 1 backward from the base plate 4, and the connecting rod 20 will flip as the sliding block 18 slides, thereby tilting and pulling the protrusion 21 out from the inside of the connecting seat 22. Then, under the elastic force of the return spring 19, the connecting rod 20 will be driven to return vertically, so that the sliding block 18 will disengage from the connection with the hydroponic frame 15.

[0030] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the top of the base plate 4 is provided with a docking groove 10 for sliding docking with the heat insulation frame 1, and the bottom of the heat insulation frame 1 is completely in contact with the inner wall of the docking groove 10.

[0031] When the above solution is put into actual use, the docking groove 10 enables the docking position to be determined when the heat insulation frame 1 and the base plate 4 are docked, ensuring that the position of the heat insulation frame 1 on the base plate 4 is the same every time. This enables precise alignment of the heat insulation frame 1 and the base plate 4, ensuring the installation accuracy of the heat insulation frame 1.

[0032] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the outer wall of the front end of the fixed cone rod 11 and the outer wall of the rear end of the push rod 14 are inclined surfaces that fit together, and the front side of the sliding block 18 is provided with a slot for the push rod 14 to slide through.

[0033] When the above scheme is put into actual use, the same inclined surface makes the contact surface of the fixed cone rod 11 and the push rod 14 fit together. The slot opened on one side of the sliding block 18 makes it easy for the push rod 14 to pass through when the connecting plate 9 drives the sliding block 18 to slide. Since the position of the fixed cone rod 11 is fixed, the sliding block 18 will slide relative to the push rod 14. If the slot is not opened, the sliding block 18 will gradually slide to the position of contact with the push rod 14 when sliding on the fixed cone rod 11, which restricts the sliding of the sliding block 18.

[0034] As a further embodiment of the present invention, air inlet and outlet pipes 2 are fixedly connected to the heat insulation frame 1 and the sealing plate 3 respectively, and the air inlet and outlet pipes 2 are connected to the external pipes.

[0035] When the above solution is put into actual use, after the heat insulation frame 1 and the sealing plate 3 isolate the plant from the external environment, the internal air circulation is poor. By using two air inlet and outlet pipes 2 to allow air to enter and exit separately, it can be ensured that there is sufficient oxygen inside the heat insulation frame 1 to facilitate plant growth. At the same time, the temperature of the air entering can be controlled to further stabilize the environmental temperature inside the heat insulation frame 1.

[0036] As a further embodiment of the present invention, a temperature measuring component is fixedly connected to the hydroponic frame 15;

[0037] When the above solution is put into practical use, the temperature measuring component can simultaneously observe the growth temperature of the plant inside the frame while observing the plant itself. Combined with the temperature of the air transported inside the insulation frame 1 by the air inlet and outlet pipes 2, the internal ambient temperature of the insulation frame 1 can be regulated so that the plant can always maintain a suitable growth temperature inside the insulation frame 1.

[0038] Working principle: During the hydroponic experiment, the hydroponic plant is placed inside the hydroponic frame 15. An appropriate amount of water and nutrient solution are added inside the frame. When the insulation frame 1 is installed on top of the base plate 4, the insulation frame 1 causes the connecting plate 9 to slide horizontally. Then, the sealing plate 3 is fixed from the front end of the insulation frame 1. The push rod 14 at the rear end of the sealing plate 3 gradually contacts the fixed cone rod 11, pushing it downwards. The fixed cone rod 11 causes the sliding block 18 to slide down together. The downward movement of the fixed cone rod 11 causes the protrusion 21 to insert into the opening at the top of the connecting seat 22, thus creating a connection between the sliding block 18 and the hydroponic frame 15. Then, the turntable 6 is rotated, causing the threaded rod 8 to rotate, making the connecting plate 9 slide along the threaded rod 8. The connecting plate 9 causes the sliding block 18 to slide together, and the sliding block 18, through the protrusion 21, causes the hydroponic frame 15 to slide together, causing the sliding rod 16 to drive the telescopic rod 17 to slide inside the slide rail 12. When the telescopic rod 17 slides, the telescopic rod 17... When rod 17 slides to its maximum distance, hydroponic frame 15 continues to slide, causing sliding rod 16 to slide as well, so that hydroponic frame 15 slides into fixed frame 5. Remove the light shield at the top of fixed frame 5, and the growth of the plant inside hydroponic frame 15 can be observed through glass plate 7 on fixed frame 5. If a single plant needs to be removed, glass plate 7 can also be removed from fixed frame 5, and the plant can be taken out directly from the top of fixed frame 5. Then cover glass plate 7 and light shield, and reverse turntable 6 to push hydroponic frame 15 back to its original position. When the hydroponic experiment is over and the heat insulation frame 1 needs to be opened, remove sealing plate 3 from the front end of heat insulation frame 1, slide heat insulation frame 1 backward from bottom plate 4, and connecting rod 20 will flip as sliding block 18 slides, thereby tilting and pulling protrusion 21 out from inside connecting seat 22. Then, under the elastic force of return spring 19, connecting rod 20 is driven to return vertically, so that sliding block 18 is disengaged from hydroponic frame 15.

[0039] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
